The greatest contribution of root pressure in water transport in plants most likely is that it:

1. pushes water to the top at night
2. pushes water to the top of the plant when the rate of transpiration is low
3. re-establishes the continuous chain of water molecules in the xylem
4. pushes water into the endodermal cells changing the transport from
apoplast to symplast
